The Alumni Register 295 

University of Pennsylvania Men who served in the Civil War 

1861-1865. 



II 
Department of Medicine. 

In previous issues of the Register was given a list of the Col- 
lege matriculates who took part in the Civil War, on either the 
Northern or the Southern side, so far as information was obtainable. 
One omission has been called to my attention, that of the name of 
Joseph Beale, Jr., a graduate of the Class of '32 College and of the 
Class of '36 Medical, who was Surgeon General of the U. S. Navy. 
His name will appear with those of his medical class. No doubt 
there are other omissions and errors, and I repeat the request, 
originally made in the first issue, that these should be pointed out 
to me. 

I now present the list of matriculates of the Medical School 
who served in the War. It has been compiled under serious 
difficulties and is probably more defective than the College list. 
I have been unsuccessful in enlisting the interest of the Medical 
Alumni Society in any way, and have thus lost a valuable source 
of assistance. 

A letter of application to the Secretary of War at Washing- 
ton for information from the records of the Department was 
returned to me with the endorsement of the Adjutant General 
that "a strict rule prohibits the furnishing of information from the 
official records for such purposes." On the other hand, a similar 
letter to the Secretary of the Navy brought a prompt and courteous 
reply from the acting Secretary, Hon. Beekman Winthrop, offer- 
ing every assistance within his power, for which I am glad to make 
here my grateful acknowledgments. 

The first instalment of the list, such as I have been able to 
make it up to this time, is now presented and further instalments 
will appear in subsequent issues of the Register until it is com- 
pleted. I would earnestly ask all those under whose eyes it may 
come to scrutinize it closely for errors and omissions, and to write 
me at once of any which they may discover. It is a large list of 
names and involves much labor to obtain the data for notes of 
service. It is inevitable that there will be a great many names 



296 Pennsylvania Men in Civil War 

omitted from this initial publication which ought to be here and 
I hope that these may be supplied to me by those who note their 
absence.

Va. Regt., C. S. Army, 1861-63. He was successively regimental surg., senior 
surg. of brigade, and acting surg. of division, and during the last year of the war 
president of an examining board in South Carolina for the examination of con- 
scripts and disabled soldiers. At the battle of Chancellorsville he had the wounded 
Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson placed in an ambulance, and sent to the rear. After 
the battle of Gettysburg, he had charge of the wounded of Jackson's old Corps, 
who could not be removed, and on the retreat of the Confederate army the Federals 
took possession of their camp of wounded, but allowed him to remain in charge 
and liberally furnished supplies for the wounded. About a month after the battle 
Dr. Whitehead with other Confederate surgeons was sent to Baltimore, and instead 
of being exchanged, as expected, was retained as a prisoner of war, and shut up in 
an inclosure adjoining Fort McHenry. In the meantime a pretty cousin whose 
home was in Brooklyn, N. Y., to whom he was engaged and afterward married, 
had, on account of her ill health, gained permission from U. S. Secretary of War 
Stanton to cross the lines into Virginia. On learning this. Dr. Whitehead plotted 
to free himself from the uninteresting life of a prison barrack. One dark night 
he made his escape in citizen's dress and in a few days reached Canada. He took 
passage from Halifax to St. George's, Bermuda, where the Confederate quarter- 
master placed him on a swift blockade-runner to Wilmington, N. C, which he 
reached in safety after an exciting trip.

Soon after returning home from the University of Pennsylvania, the question 
of secession became the paramount political issue. While believing that the State 
had the legal right to secede, he deemed such action unwise and inexpedient, so 
espoused the Union cause and became locally prominent as a "Union man." He 
raised a large U. S. flag on his lawn, which was not lowered until North Carolina 
withdrew from the Union. It was then tenderly folded away until Gen. Joseph 
E. Johnston surrendered, when it was again unfurled with the hope that North and

South would soon be re-united. That flag is still cherished as a precious family 
heirloom. Although a "Union man" before secession, yet when war was declared, 
he was one of the first citizens of Granville County to enlist in a volunteer company 
which was raised by his friend and neighbor, Dr. Eugene Grissom (class 1858), 
and later became surg., 30th N. C. Regt., C. S. Army, attached to the Army of 
Northern Va. He was with "Stonewall" Jackson's army in its famous campaigns, 
serving as field surg. in many important battles, but a few weeks before his great 
commander's death, after a severe illness, he was assigned to special service under 
Col. Peter Mallett, in the conscript department, with headquarters at Raleigh, 
N. C. He also held several important hospital positions in Richmond, Va., and 
Wilmington, N. C. For one of his age and experience he received unusual recog- 
nition, and was several times promoted. On one occasion, while ministering to 
the sick and wounded under peculiarly difilcult circumstances, "Stonewall" 
Jackson, who happened to be passing, stopped and spoke words of personal commen- 
dation, an honor which Dr. Smith never referred to except in his own family circle. 
He served from the beginning of the war until its close, and returned home with his 
health undermined from hardship endured in the field.

in the head and side at the battle of Stone's River, near Murfreesboro, Dec. 
31 1862, and left on the field for dead, where he lay for hours until befriend- 
ed' by a Confederate soldier, who was hunting for a wounded comrade, and 
taken to a large dry goods store in Murfreesboro, which had been converted 
into a hospital, and placed on the bare floor with 300 other severely wounded 
men. Here the wounded remained until those who were strong enough were 
sent by train to a Southern prison. While assembled in a room in the town 
jail, too small for any one to sit down, awaiting their transfer South, Doctor 
Clark and a comrade, in their desperation to get out of the unwholesome air, 
found on moving a large stone box from against one of the walls of the room, 
a hole in the wall, through which they crept and in wandering about came to 
an empty cell, where they closed the door and slept on the stone floor until 
morning, when they discovered that the Confederates had evacuated the town 
and taken with them the other prisoners. The two escaped prisoners learned 
later that a roll call of the prisoners made before their departure revealed 
the absence of the two men and an ineffectual search was made for them. 
Clark and his comrade eventually reached the Union lines in safety.

8oo University Men in the Civil fVar 



UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA MEN WHO 
SERVED IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861-1865 



II. 

Department of Medicine 



The present instalment of war records of our medical graduates which 
were received too late for insertion in their proper classes, probably is the 
last. The graduates of our Law School who served in the Civil War will 
follow in subsequent issues of The Register. 

After pursuing every avenue of research open to him, the Editor fears 
that there are many graduates of the Medical School of the University who 
served in the Civil War and whose names are not included in the list, espe- 
cially from the South. Both the Army and the Navy Departments at Wash- 
ington have been of most valuable assistance and have furnished much in- 
formation from the Government files; but for the graduates who served in 
the Southern armies the available sources are meagre. It is earnestly desired 
that every one who knows of a name that should be included, or who can 
correct in any way the lists already published, will communicate with the 
Editor, 

EwiNG Jordan, M.D.,
